Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-16
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h

This file uses non-portable whitespace, to wit:

#ifdef _LIBC
#error Applications may not define the macro _LIBC
#endif

The leading space before the hash mark is not correct.

# error Applications may not define the macro _LIBC

would be better (and portable).

This causes tools like X11's "makedepend" script to howl. A lot.

The C standard does not require this, nor does any cpp in the real
world for 10 years, so IMHO you should rather fix makedepend.
